Reverse Bets

A reverse is a series of IF bets going both forward and in "reverse" order. Each team included in the Reverse will pair with another team to form two IF bets, one with that team first and another with that team as the second team in the IF.

Each bet in the reverse is an individual straight wager> for the full amount of the reverse. Note: Each bet is for the same amount.

All bets in the Reverse are bet with the condition "If, win only" meaning the next bet will only be placed if the previous one wins (ties or cancellations will void all subsequent bets).

Reverse Betting Rules

  • The rules of IF bets apply.
  • The amount chosen for the Reverse is the same amount for each IF bet in the Reverse.
  • The maximum risk of the Reverse is calculated by multiplying the highest risk between the straight bet times two.
  • The maximum win is calculated by adding all wins of the straight bets on the IF bets.
  • 2-10 teams may be included in a Reverse.
  • In the case of more than two teams chosen the reverse is all possible combinations of two team if bets and their reverse with all the selections.
  • Each bet included in the Reverse is bet under the condition IF Win Only.
  • Ties and cancellations will void all subsequent bets.
  • No Open bets are allowed in a reverse.

Reverse Example

Let's say you have locked two picks for Sunday's football. You want to make more money than a straight bet, but you want to minimize your losses. The reverse bet allows you to do this. By definition a Reverse is a two-way IF bet following always the IF win, tie, cancel condition.

Let's give an example to make it easy to understand how it works:

  • 2 team Reverse for $100
  • Vikings -3
  • Seahawks 38

This is the equivalent of having the following two if bets:

  • 2 team if bet
  • Vikings -3 risking $110 to win $210 If win, tie, cancel
  • Seahawks Over 38 risking $110 to win $210
  • 2 team if bet
  • Seahawks Over 38 risking $110 to win $210 If win, tie, cancel
  • Vikings -3 risking $110 to win $210

On the first If bet you are risking $110 to win $310 and so on the second if wager. Therefore, with a Reverse bet you are risking a maximum of $220 to win a maximum of $620.
